Below is a recap and images from the game by Dave Woten

After a strong end to the season and a first round upset win over Franklin Regional, the Lady Bridgers faced 4th ranked Mars in the second round on Thursday evening.Mars mounted a strong attack but the Ambridge defense met the challenge. With both teams holding strong, shots were limited and the first half ended scoreless. Eight minutes into the second half, Mars almost broke the ice with a glancing blow off the crossbar. The physical nature of the game continued with girls from both sides being knocked to the turf. A Mars foul put the ball just beyond the 30-yard line for a free kick. Haley O’Brien’s kick cleared the keeper and found the back of the net putting the first point on the board. This is all Ambridge would get and all Ambridge would need. The #12 ranked Bridgers play on. Cinderella story…you decide. Come root for the Lady Bridgers on Saturday as they play the #1 ranked Moon Tigers. Time and location TBA.
